Programming
?
 NEED FOR PROGRAMMING - EXAMPLE
Railway Ticket Booking System

Can reserve
railway tickets
only from the
Can only book But because of
quota of that
tickets from that programming,
Stand in long station Even if
station and two-way tickets
queues other stations
cannot book can be booked
quota is not
return tickets from anywhere
filled, we can
not reserve the
tickets

 WHY PYTHON FOR DATA SCIENCE?

 Simple syntax
 Multiple libraries for data
science applications
 GETTING STARTED WITH PYTHON

Anaconda Jupyter Notebook

 Open-Source distribution  Main environment for writing

 Simplifies package management Python code throughout this
program
and deployment
 Can write both code and normal
text in the Notebooks
 Notebooks are easy to read and
share

Variables and Data Types
 VARIABLES

 There is a need to store the value obtained after the computation to be used
later, and this is when variables come into play
 DATA TYPES

 A classification that specifies

 The type of value a variable has, and
 The type of mathematical, relational or logical operations that can be
applied to it without causing an error
